President Donald Trump has rejected a news report that claimed his administration offered Iran sanctions relief and access to frozen funds, stating that the story is inaccurate.

The disputed report alleged that the United States had proposed easing economic sanctions on Tehran and releasing assets that had been frozen under previous sanctions regimes.

In response, the White House said the report is false and that no such offer was made to Iran, reaffirming the administration’s stance on maintaining pressure on the Iranian government.

U.S. sanctions on Iran, which target the country’s nuclear program and regional activities, have been in place for many years and remain a core element of American foreign policy toward Tehran.

The denial comes amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran, as the United States continues to monitor developments closely.
